In the deep winter, dripping water turns into ice.

Outside the house, all the flowers and trees withered, leaving only a pile of bare branches, big and small, like hideous beasts, scattered in the night. The snow was still falling, but it was a little smaller and fell scattered.

The black old tiles were scattered with white snow, which looked even colder and colder. A series of old tiled houses stood in the dark night, with doors and windows tightly closed. In such a cold day, almost no one was traveling at night, but the people in the tiled houses were still carefully blocking the gaps between the doors and windows, and not allowing a trace of candlelight to be exposed. So even if you walk by nearby, you will not find someone in the old house that has been empty for a long time.

A small piece of white candle was burning on the low table with dust. The wick occasionally made a "crackling" sound, and a few sparks were blooming. As the fire swayed, a drunk man with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek stood up staggeringly, pushed open a small door and walked in.

The door was filled with children, and there were as many as seven or eight people!

Ye Kui was mixed in and just woke up. He heard footsteps approaching and hurriedly closed his eyes again to pretend to be dizzy.

"Skinny Monkey, see if those two children are awake..." Someone burped and said loudly. Ye Kui remembered that this was the strong man with a beard on his face before.

Then it seemed that someone pushed the door and kicked her with his toes. The force made her waist hurt, but she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

"Sleeping to death!"

"Be gentle! Even if you are so loud, you will wake up from your noise! ​​Come out and have another cup of wine."

"Come on..." After responding, the footsteps gradually faded away. Ye Kui quietly opened her eyes and saw a tall and thin figure staggeringly walking out. When she passed by the door, she staggered to the hand of a little girl. The thin little girl immediately started sobbing. The man with a nickname, Skinny Monkey, kicked her, cursed and said "unlucky" and went out to lock the door.

After falling off the lock, Ye Kui finally relaxed his tight heartstrings slightly, and he fumbled his hand to look at Ye Shu beside him. After touching up and down, left and right, he seemed to be fine, and then he felt a little relieved.

"Old Hei, we're lucky this time," said the thin monkey's voice from outside the door. "Hey, I thought the business of that family was big enough, but who knew that another one was taken halfway. I took the money and gave it to our three children for free. I've said this luck. I've seen it all, and I'm very good at giving birth, especially that boy, tsk..."

The man called Lao Hei was a little impatient, "I'll take it off immediately when I got it. We are human traffickers, not just helping people wipe their butts! I'll be reluctant to take the job of licking blood from the knife. If it weren't for their generous gifts, I wouldn't be willing to take it!"

Ye Kui couldn't help but wonder as she heard this.

They are a business, who is the other one talking about?

While thinking, Lao Hei, who had been drinking for a while from the outside, had a meal of the wine jar in his hand. He felt his whole body hot, and he couldn't help but sit up. The old stool under his butt was clamoring. His chin raised towards the closed wooden door. He hesitated and said, "Skinny Monkey, is there a sister of fourteen or fifteen years inside?"

The thin monkey choked and glanced at him, "Hold on, I'll ruin it for you later! That little look can be sold to the kiln for no more than seven or eight taels of silver."

"Bad! I'll always sell it to the kiln. What's wrong with me first!" After being choked, Lao Hei couldn't help but get up and was about to open the door.

Ye Kui heard the sound of footsteps approaching and hurriedly closed her eyes again.

"No...please let me go...No-"

"Ba"

"I'll cut your tongue again!"

The girl's crying was getting farther and farther away with the old black cursing words, but only through a thin wooden door, it could not stop the sound coming from another room.

The sound of the clothes tearing, the obscene laughter of Lao Hei and the thin monkey seemed to be covered in their mouths and looked dull and cried... Everything was so clear...

Ye Kui felt a chill that kept coming, causing her to tremble.

Suddenly, a frivolous woman's voice came out, "Oh, I said, Lao Hei, you're so impatient. I'm still counting on these good guys to exchange for money. You're going to play first. You're going to buy it?"

"Miss Hua, look at you, you are so stingy. I won't be able to touch you?"

"Hmph. I think you are a dog who can't change your shit. You will die sooner or later!" As he said that, the wooden door was opened again, and a woman with heavy makeup came in.

Ye Kui didn't have time to pretend to be dizzy and was looked at.

"Look at this little face." Hua Niangzi squatted down, put his fingers on her face like a carrot, and threw his eyes on her, "It's not smooth, Hua Niang will definitely sell you for a good price tomorrow."

After saying that, she lost a bag at Yekui's feet, left a pot of water and went out.

Then the voices outside the house lowered and could not be clearly heard. Ye Kui carefully identified them, then pushed Ye Shu to wake him up with a cold face, and quickly took the bag and the kettle on the ground into his arms.

There were a few cold and hard thick-faced cakes in the bag.

The sound of swallowing saliva came from his ears, and Ye Kui couldn't help but glance around. At this moment, there were seven of them in the room. Except for the boy with his head down in the distance, the rest of them had locked their eyes firmly in her hands.

Just looking at the dirty clothes, Ye Kui knew that these people must have been locked up for longer than them and hunger for longer. But Ye Kui did not mean to give them the cakes in her hand.

There are only four thick-fried cakes for seven people, and no matter how they divide it, it is not enough.

The remaining people seemed to be older than her last year, and the oldest one seemed to be eleven or twelve years old. At this time, they were staring at her fiercely. Ye Kui frowned, quickly stuffed a cake into Ye Shu's mouth, and stuffed one into her mouth. Then she wrapped the remaining two thick-dough cakes with a bun and threw them out.

The pancake was cold and hard and hard to swallow, so she swallowed it hard with the water.

Ye Shu stared at the pancake and shouted to her, "Sister..."

Not far away, several people had already started to fight. Ye Kui urged Ye Shu to eat the cake in his hand quickly, and they might not be allowed to grab this one after the snatch.

After taking half of it, Ye Shu grinned, "Sister, I can't swallow it, my throat hurts."

Although Xiao Yunniang didn't have much money, she was in good spirits and never treated her two children. Whenever she had money to buy fine noodles and rice, she would never let them eat coarse grains. Ye Shu's mouth was already raised. But now, she could not pick on her! Ye Kuixin was ruthless and said in a deep voice: "You have to eat it if you can't swallow it. If you don't want to starve to death!"

Ye Shu was shocked by her stern tone and started gnawing on the cake again in a hurry. After gnawing for a while, he suddenly shouted: "Sister, look!"

Ye Kui looked in the direction of his finger and found that the boy who had his head lowered and hid in the corner had walked out at some point and snatched away the only two thick-dough cakes left.

One against four, but he won?

In confusion, the boy who lowered his head to eat the cake suddenly raised his head and looked straight into Ye Kui's eyes.

But he looks like he is only about ten years old, but he is extremely handsome.

The complexion of the skin was so white that it was dazzlingly white in this dim environment, making the eyes in the eye sockets look as dark as ink, as if they were slightly moved, and the tears mole under the right corner of the eye were red like cinnabar, which inexplicably brought a bit of weirdness.
